Opinion
Appeal by the defendant from a resentence of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Brennan, J.), imposed September 19, 2012, upon his convictions of attempted murder in the second degree, kidnapping in the second degree, assault in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and menacing in the second degree (two counts), upon a jury verdict, the resentence being periods of postrelease supervision in addition to the determinate terms of imprisonment previously imposed by the same court (Leventhal, J.) on March 22, 2000.ORDERED that the resentence is affirmed.
Contrary to the defendant's contentions, his resentencing to a term including the statutorily required periods of postrelease supervision did not subject him to double jeopardy or violate his right to due process of law, since at the time he was resentenced he had not completed serving his originally imposed sentence of imprisonment (see People v. Brinson, 21 N.Y.3d 490, 495–495, 972 N.Y.S.2d 182, 995 N.E.2d 144 ; People v. Lingle, 16 N.Y.3d 621, 630–632, 926 N.Y.S.2d 4, 949 N.E.2d 952 ; People v. Williams, 116 A.D.3d 719, 719–720, 982 N.Y.S.2d 788 ; People v. Harrison, 112 A.D.3d 967, 977 N.Y.S.2d 374 ; People v. Hernandez, 110 A.D.3d 918, 919, 972 N.Y.S.2d 913 ; see also Penal Law § 70.30[1] ).
